Why this topic matters
FDM vs SLA directly affects manufacturability, quotation accuracy and delivery performance.
Key engineering considerations
Clarify file versions, functional requirements, tolerances, materials and expected quantities before requesting a quote.
Practical checklist
- Use clear file names and revision codes.
- Separate critical and non-critical dimensions.
- State surface finish and inspection requirements.
- Include realistic quantities and lead-time expectations.
Conclusion
A structured RFQ reduces uncertainty for both buyers and manufacturers.
